The Bellingen Youth Orchestra was honoured to be the chosen supporting orchestra for this year’s Compass Music Festival — a unique initiative that offers primary and secondary students from regional and rural NSW the opportunity to perform, connect, and express themselves in a high-level musical setting.
Participation in the Compass Music Festival provided our young musicians with an invaluable experience. Through their involvement, students were able to:
-
🎻 Perform in a major public event, showcasing their talents to a wider audience
-
🎼 Collaborate with inspiring students and educators from across the state
-
🚌 Strengthen essential life skills such as commitment, time management, and teamwork
-
🌟 Build self-confidence through live performance
-
🎧 Explore creative self-expression through music
We are incredibly proud of how our students represented our orchestra, both musically and personally. Their performance was a testament to the hard work, discipline, and passion they bring to every rehearsal and concert.
The Compass Music Festival continues to be a powerful platform for nurturing musical talent in regional and rural communities. It ensures that young people, regardless of location, have the chance to develop their musical voices and be part of something greater than themselves.
Congratulations to all involved — and especially to the members of the Bellingen Youth Orchestra. Your hard work, artistry, and team spirit made this event a true success. We are so proud of you.
